[alxone]

This bill had better die a quick death in the Republican house...

one can only hope

[Buzzkill69]

it simply can't be fixed.

all i can say is...fuck politicians. all of them. every last one. regardless.

I find myself thinking these same things more and more!!

"I do have family members who are undocumented," Sen. Angela Giron (D-Pueblo), one of the bill's sponsors, said.

Am I the only one who thinks this woman should be forced to give up her senate seat unless she gives up her illegal relatives for deportation?

This one of the problems right here. this woman was probably an anchor baby, and is now voting to reward that kind of behavior.

makes me sick.

And we move yet one more step away from greatness. Our politicians will not be happy until thy ruin our great nation. This makes me sad.

That comment alone just blew me away. I took a migration economics class in college and for my final project i had to research and interview a migrant and if it was fou d I interviewed am illegal I would fail the class. So how is an elected official can hold office for being simply associated with these "undocumented people

I am not sure you have noticed, the laws now only seem to apply to common folk, the politicians live by different rules. Much like we pay taxes or pay the price yet many of the politicians have failed to do so. They have created their own form or royalty. Time works in circles and things are coming full circle.

Georgia is passing tough new legislation on illegal immigration, seems of their annual 18 billion dollar state budget, 2.4 billion was being used on and by illegal aliens. Georgia is a long way from the border y'all.

This is only if they have applied for citizenship. What happened to a lot of your guys stance "it's okay if they're trying to be citizens"? You're all just sounding like anti-immigrant now.

The bill would cover students who have:
- Attended a Colorado high school for at least three years
- Been admitted to a state college within a year of graduation
- Applied for citizenship
This would affect an estimated 700 students annually.

I didn't see an "AND" in there
*IF* thats the case then I would concede this is a good idea.
as I see it is an optional list

"My Momma and Poppa bring me here when I was 14 on the drug cartel trail, I go to high school in Colorado. When I graduate I want to go to college and make lots of money to send to Mexico."

Fuck them. Fuck the illegals and especially fuck the senator who says she has illegal criminals in her family. I would love to see them targeted for deportation.
